Carcassonne: Bridges, Castles and Bazaars (Expansion 8)

Get ready to revolutionize your Carcassonne gameplay! This expansion introduces two brand - new tile features and a fresh option for your roads. With the new bridge tokens, you can build roads across obstructing features, easily connecting tiles to keep your roads going. Transform your small cities into castles. It's a risky move as you'll sacrifice your initial points, but the potential for a huge future reward is worth it. The new Bazaar tiles bring exciting auctions where players use their points to bid for valuable tiles. The risks are high, but so are the rewards in this amazing expansion!

How to use: First, shuffle the new tiles from this expansion into the main tile stack. When you draw a bridge tile, you can place it across obstructing features to connect your roads. For castle conversion, when you have a small city, decide if you want to convert it by forfeiting your current points. In auctions for Bazaar tiles, players take turns bidding points to claim the tile. Things to note: Remember that converting to a castle is a high - risk move. Make sure to think carefully before sacrificing your current points. Also, in auctions, don't over - bid and leave yourself short of points for other opportunities. Maintenance: Keep the tiles and tokens in a dry place to prevent damage. If they get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth.
